A suburban Chicago man was sentenced to seven years in federal prison Tuesday after he was convicted of laundering illegal narcotics proceeds on behalf of drug traffickers in Mexico.
, schemed with a person in Mexico in the fall of 2017 to facilitate the receipt of roughly $1.5 million in narcotics proceeds in the United States.
A search was conducted of Han's residence and law enforcement found a money counter, multiple firearms, more than $1.1 million in cash that was concealed in cookie tins inside of a drop ceiling in the basement and about $200,000 in cash in vacuum-sealed packaging in the basement closet. In March, a federal jury convicted Han on all four charges against him — including one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, one count of attempted concealment money laundering, one count of conducting a financial transaction with funds represented to be drug proceeds and one count of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business.
